EEGs are a SNAP

Although I doubt I'll ever have any use for this, anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists might be interested in SNAP, the new EEG module for the Handspring Visor. SNAP transforms the Visor into an EEG monitoring tool.

SNAP is a single-channel EEG device that uses a unique approach for monitoring anesthesia's effect on EEG. It combines high- and low-frequency EEG signal analysis to provide the SNAP Index. Derived from the power spectrum of the acquired EEG signal, the SNAP Index is a real-time indication of anesthesia's effect on the state of the brain. The SNAP trend is presented to the clinician to support evaluation of the brain state over time.
